Well the Google results i saw say about 64% of eligible voters voted, which is apparently high for the US.

Based on 2020 numbers it does look like a lot of 2020 Biden voters stayed home and most 2020 Trump voters came out again. Add in some economy frustration and surprise we get this shit show for 4 years...

average turnout is 50% on a good day. 60%+ is high.

the question is what the breakout between registration and voters who actually voted looks like. I'd be a disproportionate amount of dems simply didn't vote.

then you can start a fucking civil war over it, it's literally the law, federally, and in most states.

What do you mean when you say states? The states themselves have a law that says how many years a president may be president?
